    As a foot doctor I look at running shoes and running shoe technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the running shoe's functional attributes on the road and trail
    Some of the main areas we cover in this basketball shoe shoe playtest, and performance review of the Nike Alphafly 3
    - The weight, durability, fit and playability
    - What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
    - Nike running shoe technology explained

    Bought the Vaporfly because I couldn't find these in stock. First run set a PR and never felt like I was trying. So comfortable too! Sure enough, checked Nike site today out of curiosity and the Alphafly was back in stock. Immediately order them. I'm curious to try them back to back. I'll be rotating these two. I'm a heavy runner and not fast, but I really enjoy running in the vaporfly compared to all my daily trainers. They felt like I got a horsepower boost.

    So glad Nike are making wider comfier shoes. The Vaporfly 2 were killing my feet and there was no way I was going back to such a narrow shoe. Alphafly Next % was better but I'm excited for the Alphafly 3. If they're as nice on every level people say they are I'll probably get 3 pairs.

    I see you mentioned several times that it’s meant for elite runners. So, would you say it’s not a good choice for an average runner attempting their first marathon? I’ve been using Vaporflys 1 and I love them but they are all worn out now. So, I was wondering if these would be a good choice for me or should I go for the latest Vaporflys? Any recommendations?

      For heavier runners, shoes like the Endorphin Pro 4 and Adios Pro 3 might be better as they have better durability than ZoomX, especially Adidas, with their Lightstrike Pro. But its all preference and how the shoe works for each person.

    @Tritiuminducedfusion Před 2 měsíci +1

    Ahhh, the review I've been waiting for. Can you explain why these are the only super shoe to load my Achilles' a great deal more... it's not the stack height, a lot of them are 40 mm. My left Achilles is getting torn up for days after sprinting/5kish paces. I suspect it's something in the carbon plate construction forcing me up on my toes, but the Vaporfly's do that as well and no issues.
    I might just go with the Endorphin Pro 4 for the marathon, they seem to be the most comfortable for me without having to worry in the back of my mind about my Achilles.

    I don't think this shoe is going to be bad for all heel strikers. The heel bevel allows for a smooth transition. The heel is not as squishy as the forefoot. Also, most people who heel strike don't heel strike at the angle demonstrated (with the shoe off the foot), so the cutout in the back won't cause you to lead backward. This shoe is designed for running fast. So maybe if you are heavy, heel strike, and have a 5k-marathon pace that is too slow to benefit from this shoe then this shoe might be a waste of money.

    That is absolutely uncomfortable shoe by that standpoint. Sure the impact protection is insane but leg comfort will not gurantee the leg muscles to support fully due to its unstable design. That is way too high and very narrow width of shoes upper that it will cause to have possible ankle roll

      Because he has the funds to do so,
      He’s a foot doctor (literally in his channel name)
      He explains every part of the shoe in a scientific manner for free (because everyone charges these days) and you should be grateful to have this knowledge
      This shoe was cut in half for scientific purposes not just for fun, be more mature instead of in your emotions.
      And more importantly this knowledge can be used for advanced runners seeking to buy this shoe.
      You should probably care more about how China and other parts of the world pollutes with their plastic and chemicals and how they get away with it, that’s where your emotional powers can be handy 💪
